A Game Type Coach Appeared in the Fourth Division of Iceland

A person who actually became a coach appeared while playing a soccer strategy game.

Ori Torrison from Reykjavik, Iceland, will take charge of the Icelandic soccer team KV this season. He has spent about 8 percent of his life playing soccer games.

There is a game called "Devil's Game" among soccer fans. It is a soccer coach simulation game and Football Manager (FM). FM allows players to enjoy not only team tactics but also recruitment and release of players as if they are real coaches. Once you fall in love, you will lose track of time, hence the nickname "Devil's Game."

According to media reports, KV, an Icelandic fourth-division team, appointed a man named Ori Torrisson as its coach. He says he devoted 8 percent of his awake time to FM. He has enjoyed games for 571 days. Most of his coaching experience is known to be FM.

Torrisson couldn't play soccer anymore due to hip surgery last year. He recalled, "I feel like I have lost something in my life." Later, he asked his friend who runs Cria, an Icelandic fifth-division team, if he could take over as a coach. Not like that, but his actual managerial career began.

It was a huge success. With 13 wins from 16 matches under the leadership of Kria, he was promoted to the fourth division. "We got a call from KV towards the end of the season that they wanted to recruit me as a manager. After several meetings, we signed a one-year contract," Torreason said.

"It could have been a really good stepping stone for my career. I took the job with high expectations that I would have extra income to support my family, including my pregnant girlfriend," Torrison said.

"This time, I wanted to take a different approach when appointing a coach," said Jilpason, president of KV. "Toryson is a young, promising young man. Not only is he ambitious about our club, but he has different experiences and backgrounds from other candidates." 토토사이트 순위

"I want to help my players gain more confidence and joy through football," Torrison said. "I truly believe that FM has had a positive impact on my actual ability. The complex mechanisms, strategic decision-making, and scenarios full of pressure allowed me to hone my problem-solving skills."

"FM became a way to escape at a difficult time in my life. I found comfort while playing the game. My heart momentarily freed me from the struggle of the real world. This may sound bad, but if I do well in the game, I feel like I am doing well in life," he said.

"I have the thrill of leading my favorite team to victory and the satisfaction of nurturing young talent. I have affection and passion for strategic aspects such as transfer markets and press conferences," Torrison said, adding, "I will actually use the 4-2-3-1 formation that I have used throughout my FM career."

"The board and team members are supportive. They are trying to help me in every way they can. I can't wait for the season to start." Toryson-led KV will play its league opener in May.
